Default Digital MP4 Player Dead...I've never tried to change firmwar
I bought off ebay this digital mp4 player from china three months ago. Last week, the battery went low and the player closed by itself, and it's dead since then. It has nothing to do with the firmware, I've never tried to upgrade it. And it's not dead because broken, I dont remember dropping it. What the h*** happened?

Here's my player:

So I put the player in Adfu mode, by shorting the chip. It's been recognized then Windows installed the drivers. I run the update tool:

I guess this is what's supposed to happen? Yeah.

When I chose this full firmware and an old updater (3.06)... (it won't do it with any other firmware or updater version)...
Click the image to open in full size.

Then if I try to recover my player with that very firmware, I get the error message : "Read or write device information failed! Please exit the program and check if device is connecting!" Or if I try with the others I get "Flash is no responding!"

Then the blue screen disappears.
Has anyone ever experienced this?
